Members of our Education Program worked with Studio in a School NYC to provide visual materials and concepts, inspired by the work of Julie Mehretu, to be applied towards lesson plans for grades K through 12. The lesson plans coincided with Mehretu's fall 2020 exhibition, "about the space of half an hour" at our New York space. The Marian Goodman Gallery wishes to thank Alison Scott-Williams, President of Studio in a School NYC, and Senior Director Julie Applebaum for spearheading this initiative.

About Julie Mehretu
In exploring palimpsests of history, from geological time to a modern day phenomenology of the social, Julie Mehretu's works engage us in a dynamic visual articulation of contemporary experience, a depiction of social behavior and the psychogeography of space.

Mehretu’s latest works reimagine abstraction and her language of gestural marks in an epic theater of saturated color. Providing vistas of clarity and opacity, transparency and impenetrability, Mehretu builds her compositions with blurs of light and contour.

In this lesson plan, students were asked to experiment with scale, movement, mark making and layering to understand how an artist’s process can create meaning. By drawing, the students would then connect their drawing process to the artwork of Julie Mehretu.
